    ZF6 from 7.3 P/stroke to idi swap

    Thanks guys, not looking for a complicated project so I'll either go with a zf5 or put in another 4R100 modded to work with the semi retarded controller in the 94

    ZF6 from 7.3 P/stroke to idi swap

    I have an opportunity to grab a zf6 from flywheel to tcase incl starter clutch pedal master and slave cyl. My question is what parts wouldn't be usable in the replacement of my E4OD Thanks in advance

    Tach not working at low RPM?

    Been a while since I've been on, I've got 94 idi turbo and the other day the tach stopped working at idle. Then I noticed at low rpm cruise the tach would intermittently quit and I could feel a drop in power. If anyone can give me a starting point where to begin searching for a cause it would be...

It's a '94 f350 7.3 IDI turbo auto 2wd drw 140000ish miles, it turns over just fine but no sign of even trying to fire, some smoke coming out of exhaust while cranking, fuel squirts out of schrader valve on...

    Turbo bearing replacement

    Been a while since my last post, just did a service on my 94 F350 7.3 IDITurbo and found tiny bit of play on turbo shaft. I'm wondering if it's worth replacing the bearings now or wait till it needs replacement and just install a rebuilt? I have large tool selection and access to specialty tools...

    Set timing what a difference

    My buddy has a mac tools diesel pulse adapter( small red box w/ clamp for injector line and a horseshoe for attaching inductive clamp of timing light). I just wish I'd seen Al's little tutorial sooner than just now, had ***** of a time playing GI Joe with kung-fu grip turning the pump(not...

    Set timing what a difference

    :D Checked my timing yesterday, good thing I did it was at 5*. Between here and my friends manual we got it to 9.5*, it's alot snappier around town and on way to work today set cruise for a 10% fairly long hill. I've ran it on cruise quite a few times and same result 1090*-1100*, today pulling...

    is 11 mpg decent towing trailer

    Thanks for the replys, IP and injectors have 115000 miles on them and are the originals. I'm not sure about timing haven't checked it yet and the downpipe is next on the list, tried already but I couldn't get the outlet housing off of turbo. I will try again and if outlet won't come off I will...

    6.2 to 6.5 any visible differences

    I may go look at a 96 diesel dually only thing is ad says mech ip, being the way I am I suspect it may be a 6.2 with the turbo from the original engine put on. Is there a quick way to determine which it is? other than that seems like a reasonable deal that I would like to capitalize on...

    Cowl air intake.

    Still has that nice cast aluminum air preheater like mine, workin on a setup to get rid of that on mine then may resort to pulling factory turbo since I was unable to remove 2 of the outlet bolts to go 3in flange to dp.
